Data show Procrustes Distances between consensus configurations for the comparisons indicated. All of the disparities differ significantly from zero (P<0.0001, permutation tests implemented in MorphoJ).

2

For the Stage-Matched comparison, BL at the stage indicated is compared to RS at the same stage (e.g. BL at 14 dpf is compared to RS at 14 dpf).

3

For the Offset-Paedomorphosis comparison, BL at the stage indicated is compared to RS at the previous stage (e.g. BL at 14 dpf is compared to RS at 10 dpf). Note that the Procrustes distance for this comparison is the lowest of all three at each stage (supporting paedomorphosis), except at the 30 dpf stage, where it is larger than the stage-matched comparison.

For the Offset-Control comparison, BL at the stage indicated is compared to BL at the previous stage (e.g. BL at 14 dpf is compared to BL at 10 dpf).
